Guys Are Mean, Too!
Yes, there, I said it. Girls may take more credibility for being mean but it just so happens that guys have been practicing, and from yesterday, I've witnessed what's called "the jokingly mean comments."
Long story short, a friend introduced us (being the group of friends I hang out with) to this guy, who was "jokingly" dissing one of us.
Now, because we weren't the actual recipients of these disses, we decided it'd be better if we let the friend who was dissed to handle it, considering we weren't part of the "joke". But it got me thinking...
Are you allowed to "jokingly" diss someone that you barely know? That you have the right to pinpoint their flaws and "joke" about it? (Quite similar to this post)
It almost felt like walking down the street and then getting comments in your face saying "Hey! You're fat! Lose some weight!"
What would you have done? And has anyone experienced this before?

I would rather not diss anybody I don't know and I would prefer not to be dissed by somebody that just me, it ruins the first impression ya know ?
Ummm...yeah. Guys have been doing that forever. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
Hahaha. I diss people people I meet, usually because I forget I have just met them and its how I am with my friends. But its never actual flaws ya know? Most of the time when I make fun of my friends its for flaws they don't actually have, and they know I'm just kidding. For ex, I would never comment on someones weight (unless they were a really healthy weight/didnt have any problems with it).
i hate when people tell me i'm a fatass when i eat a lot and don't look it. whats the point of being fit when yu get made fun of for eating more like a fat person. no sense. but then again it is funny if yu can say it in a metaphoric way.
anyways boys who do that really like yu! hahaha.
i have a bad habit of 'jokingly dissing' people when i first meet them, especially when my brain stops and i forget i'm supposed to say 'nice to meet you'.
ionno. i can't take it so i really shouldn't dish it, but it's a bit uncontrollable.
I find that girls are mean to each other but hardly ever mean to guys...men are sometimes mean to women. Like I (and most women I know) would never think of making fun of just a guy walking down the street because he's a little chubby, but guys have NO problem making fun of fat women, to their faces even. I hate the fact that men can say the meanest things about our looks no problem...why is that ok? And it being "funny" is not an excuse, because the insults guys say are almost always recycling the same stereotypes and outdated ideas about our looks, which isn't even funny or new. Sorry, rant haha
I know this guy that does that.
He has told me and many other girls that they have gained weight. He told my friend once that she used to prettier a few years ago. Really? Keep it to yourself. Nobody wants your negative opinions. I used to stay away from him, but I recently got used to his obnoxious behavior. Maybe that's just because I see him complimenting me more. hahaI'd make a smart ass comment back or say "Shut the fuck up!" Defend yourself if someone hurts your feelings.
Only to guy friends and very very limited girl friends... but somethings are off limits.
A lot of them, especially the younger, more immature ones do it to girls they like. I've pretty much learned to get used to it, it's no big deal really.
Grow a pair.
@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - I love you.
its annoying when they do .. i feel like punching them
PEOPLE are just mean. haha.
@Crimson_Ballad@xanga - o bby. keep that in private msgz
If you're on Hallway Terms (if you're still in school) you can freely say things like "God, idiot. Haha." But anything meaner than that would be... mean.
@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - Penis+Vagina= sex.
@Crimson_Ballad@xanga - penis+vagina=hermaphrodite
@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - No, that's you and me getting ready to switch postions and do the 69
Most of my guy friends are like that, but I joke around with them like that too, so I don't really care. I can see how some people would get easily offended by the type of things we say to each other, but that's the type of friendship we have. None of us takes it to heart.
@pawnshop_heart@xanga - I doubt you get called slut/whore on the first day. (He said that cause she had TWO BOYFRIENDS, and not at the same time either)
So I thought this kind of a situation would stick out.
my first thought was that being mean to a girl they just met is a pick-up strategy a lot of guys use. something about lowering a girl’s self-esteem so she’s less bitchy and more vulnerable to eventual flattery.
i know. men can be so retarded.
Nnn...
Maybe he is trying to be funny.
guys dont think they are mean becasue they dont use psychological mind games to tear someone down.(.i.e. girls) i think that can ignored easily. Guys like to bluntly say things to your face, like "eww that chick is ugly" when you're standing right in front of them
@Lil_Dude433@xanga - Does it really matter since you hardly know them? People can be assholes. Everyone has to deal with it.
